The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Orb (DoC)]

Ok so I got Civ reinstalled but now I can't install Beyond the Sword. I keep getting a feature transfer error. Any ideas?

[Korea (DoC)]

must do that next time then

[Dubhghlas]

Oh really? No one could log in and take control of it? That's a shame.

It can be done if the check box for humans to take control of AI civs is checked at the start of the game, I believe.

[Korea (DoC)]

Yes, I can split in MP, but it's not possible to control this civ. It's an AI civ for the rest of the game.

that could be fun making them AI...

they might realy start a civl war with you ..

Doesnt Civ allow you to split the colonies or sometinhg giving independnace, or does it only give them to antoher palyer in MP, i am sure once in SP i set free some citys on a distant island and they beacame a new CIV.

@Persia I'm enjoying the writing, and it doesn't crowd out anything else in all the posts, go for it One thing I don't get: New Persia is still the civ Persia right, I mean, you are not actually controlling two different civs (or did I miss something), so what do you mean when you talk about 'I installed some non-hastogianistic civics on new persia', seeing as you can't use different civics for different continents?

If possible I would love it to control 2 civs (make 'New Persia' a vassal of Media) but that's technically not possible

So my civics run over my entire civ, but storywise they apply to different parts of the empire. It's my way to tell a story.

Sun shining....

Love is in the air !!

[Egypt (DoC)]

No no no, that's way too pessimistic, don't worry, there's still a lot of fun to be had And I am in the bottom three, so coming from me, that should mean something

[Korea (DoC)]

I think it realy a sgin that at thisd stage of game with so little to do while we wait for the big three to win the game, we jsut filling in the storys simply for something to do.

[Egypt (DoC)]

Don't worry Korea, I'm on it, I'll let you know if anything important comes up

[Korea (DoC)]

my point exactly. it only one civ... so how do you install different civics on same nation in different places...

i find it al ltoo confusing and am concerned if confusuon continues i will stop reading and miss something improtant.

You are wong. It did happen.
Median armies did enter New Persia. I try to make stories for everything I do in game. I'll explain it to you:

- I have this Hastogianistic storyline
- I wanted some civics that aren't hastogianistic
- therefore I invented New Persia, a non-hastogianistic nation
- I installed some non-hastogianistic civics on new persia
- now I wanted to install a strong defence force on New Persia, something that could not be done on new persia itself yet (limited production capicity)
- so now I needed a reason to bring median armies to new persia, and this was done this way.

I am also working towards the conclusion of my (current) storyline, predicted by my signature. (yes, it's not done yet. That sig has been there since turn 1!)
And I obviously wanted to make Persia "Media and Persia". (I named my capital "Media" on turn 1!)
Oh, and I of course needed a story to incorporate the New Russian thing.

All my stories make sense for the game I am playing. Can't even reveal it all yet. Some stuff behind the New Persia /Media story are a secret, of course.

This is a story / roleplaying / diplo game, according to the first post of this thread. I try to write a story behind my civ, to bring my civ to life. But it still is all related to what I do in-game.

- golden ages
- civic changes
- religion changes

And this media/new persia story is powered by golden ages / civic changes / religion changes, and even the re-allocation of my armies.
I'm sorry that you don't get it, but believe me, nothing I write is there for no reason. Not even if you can't see it (yet).
